Gattuso Promises Self-Control
29.5 || unknown
Italy midfielder Gennaro Gattuso has sworn to not let his temper get the better of him at the World Cup. Gattuso who was picked for the World Cup after impressing for AC Milan in a season where most of the club's players performed below par. Nicknamed "the mastiff" and "The White Davids", Gattuso has made a name for himself for being a bully on the pitch. Rival fans have often claimed that he is too dirty a player to be on the pitch and mocked him for his ability to give up fouls all over the pitch. However, the fact remains that Gattuso has excelled as a ball winner and gives his all to the team running non-stop the entire time he is on the pitch.
Earlier this year Trapattoni stated, "Well, let's say that Gattuso is an ugly player, but his work rate alone is worth his presence in the side." Similar compliments have also been showered upon Gattuso by his three coaches at Milan: Zaccheroni, Terim and Ancelotti.
Gattuso will most likely not start a single World Cup game with the likes of Di Biagio, Tommasi and C. Zanetti ahead of him in the pecking order. Yet, the truculent 24-year old thinks he may be in for a tough time should he be given his chance. "Yeah, I'll have to control myself. Italian referees know I am a nice guy, but at the World Cup, my aggressiveness may be misinterpreted."
Gattuso's most notorious brawl took place at the last edition of the Olympic games in Sydney when he had a bust up with Spaniard José Mari (incidentally his teammate at AC Milan) over a foul committed by the latter one of Gattuso's fellow countrymen. However, he has since improved in leaps and bounds and has let his aggression show only in his play and not his words. Should he continue on in this manner, he is sure to have a bright and wonderful Azzurri career ahead of him.
